This is a letter going out to local pastors concerning a ministry my 10 year old daughter runs. We are looking for opportunities to help with mission trips. I saw the article about the Solid Orange kids in Guatemala and thought I'd run this by y'all. Any help in finding trips to help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance that it's not Clemson related.

We would like to take a moment of your time to introduce you to a very unique mission ministry that is changing the lives of children around the world... one small toy at a time. “Let Them Play” was started in 2011 by a seven year old Emma Whitaker on a challenge to do something small to help others. Its goal is to spread joy and the love of Jesus to children around the world and show them that someone cares.
This ministry collects toys and books that are given as a part of children’s meals at restaurants and sends them on mission trips around the world. A lot of the time our children get these toys and simply forget them, break them, or lose them. These simple toys and books mean so much, however, to a child who has nothing. So far "Let Them Play" has been able send over 4500 toys and books to children in seven US states (South Carolina, New Hampshire, Colorado, Kentucky, New Jersey, Montana, and Ohio), Haiti, Honduras and Nicaragua.
We are constantly searching for opportunities to help churches with their mission trips. With trips out of country, we get needed toys to the mission teams well in advance of their trip. This aids in packing the toys in overnight bags, suitcases, supply bins, etc. We can do the same for domestic trips but can also mail the packages to the destination of the trips and have them waiting on the team to arrive. We try to make it as simple on the mission teams as possible.
What we need from you is to simply put us in touch with the team leaders of your mission teams or your mission minister. They can contact us and we will make sure that their needs are met. We also are accepting of donations of toys. This is a great way for parents to challenge their children to think of others and to show them how simple it is to show the love of Jesus around the world. We look forward to hearing from your team leaders soon.
